For some reason my quote function doesn't want to work but I live in Ches Beach.  If it ends up a sandy-esque storm NB/CB got very insulated as an inlet and barely saw anything- all the action was up in Annapolis or down by St Leonard's and points south.  Regular storms though you will get a decent view on the NB boardwalk or on Brownies beach in CB.

Thanks for the heads up! I might drive to shady side maryland or near gibson island if this thing gets close enough to feel worthwhile impacts.

For southern MD? Flag Ponds beach is always breezy on the bay it seems. It would probably be impossible to get in on a normal Labor Day weekend but I don't think you have to worry this weekend!  They might close the beach if conditions are too bad though. 

This is just what I'm looking for. Windy spots along the western shore of the bay that generally do very well wind wise during these type of events/noreasters. Is there anywhere further north? I'm in Moco and that's a little too far south. What about North beach or chesepeake beach?

I will be visiting y'all this weekend. Anyone know any favored windy spots along the bay reasonably close to DC?

 

I looked to 2000, has happened a few times. Most recently in 2011, April 4.. 43/86.

 

Dulles actually has 5 above 50 but not that shocking for its location I suppose.

4/11/1977    87    33    54
4/3/1981     86    34    52
1/28/1987    35    -17   52
3/23/1994    83    32    51
4/18/1985    84    34    50

That -17 35 is the coolest one on that list IMO

One thing is I am sure we see quite a few more storms like this. Feast or famine really is the way it works around these parts.
